Futures mixed at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on this weekend’s conversations between the US and Iran to see if the fragile truce can hold as the usual topics are in focus along with a big economic calendar including CPI.
From Bloomberg
"US stocks fluctuated after a seven-day rally as investors looked to talks between the US and Iran for signs a fragile truce can hold. Oil was set for its steepest weekly loss in nine months.
Equity futures were flat, with the underlying S&P 500 index on track for its biggest weekly advance in almost a year. Europe’s Stoxx 600 gained 0.8% as Ukraine’s top negotiator with Russia expressed optimism about peace talks. Brent crude was steady at near $96 a barrel.
Traders are waiting to see if Tuesday’s two-week ceasefire accord that sent stocks on a tear and oil slumping can be cemented into a lasting peace. President Donald Trump said he was “optimistic,” even as he threatened Tehran over charging fees in the Strait of Hormuz where there’s little sign of a meaningful pickup in traffic since the truce began."
